California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Mottola v. R. L. Kautz & Co., 199 Cal.App.3d 98, 244 Cal.Rptr. 737 (Cal. App. 1988):
We find the analysis and holding of the Santiago court to be persuasive. In Santiago, the court held that the WCAB had exclusive jurisdiction over a claim that the independent adjuster of a self-insured employer had delayed or failed to pay a workers' compensation award. ( Santiago v. Employee Benefits Services, supra, 168 Cal.App.3d 898, 901, 214 Cal.Rptr. 679.)
